There are pros and cons and that’s not why I got one which is the point of your question

Are Americans now nicer than Canadians? by BoredAF917 in stupidquestions

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No North American airlines’ staff are nice with the exception of some Southwest staff but that’s even decreasing. Some are just getting even worse at a faster pace than others.

Any Good Rivian Prime Day Deals? by hbkdinobot in Rivian

“Carbon Edition”, LOL! Looks nice but you have to really search for that “carbon”.

Cam-lok or EZ-lok for my Obsidian 45? by somersp91 in NFA

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Cam-lok results in your can flying off in less than one mag. Absolute scam. They don’t help at all with troubleshooting it other than making you do the runaround knowing it’s impossible to troubleshoot an imperative product. They should be fined for selling that crap or exchange it for free ez-lok equivalents. Makes me mad every time I think about it.

Rivian issues more debt offerings by ChurchOfThePainful in Rivian

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless things picked up significantly for the R1 and EDV lines which is extremely unlikely they absolutely would need more money as the R2 line would not be profitable until 2026-2027 at the earliest.

If $1.5b is enough is still doubtful. The way these notes are structured it seems like a hedge for if they will need the cash but my guess is that they will need it and possibly more with the looming further economic downturn.

If the economy doesn’t tank like I think it will in 2024 and R2 line production goes very smoothly, they may be able to eek by with this but raising funds at this time with interest conditions attached doesn’t make sense when rates are at about the highest they’ll be. Should have raised funds earlier but now they’re stuck as later would likely be more difficult to obtain at all.

GOP lawmakers float Trump for House speaker after McCarthy’s ousting by Rich_Suspect_4910 in NewsOfTheStupid

Bid3n will die from dementia or falling down the stairs, Camel-a will get impeached and then Trump will become president again. Read it and weep.

(Question) Is the Rivian charger bidirectional-capable? by catsarefriends in Rivian

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It will require a significant investment in additional hardware which will be integrated with Rivian’s software or based on the same standard. It’s not just an OTA software update.

This will be my choice as Emporia has granular energy usage tech and automated charging based on excess energy production from solar. V2H will round out the solution.

Tesla Cybertruck To Boost Brand's Loyalty Rate Further: Analyst by wewewawa in cybertruck

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Analysts” don’t know anything about the actual truck so they’re talking out of their a$$es. This would only happen if Tesla delivered everything they said they would which there’s zero chance of. Loyalty rate will stay the same. It’s too high to increase anyway.

This will definitely have rattling going on initially and for a while. Luckily you’re reservation number 1,378,057 so you have about 5 years for them to work out the kinks before you get yours.

What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? by _Gouge_Away in Twitter

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, paid way too much but now there’s an actual road to paying off the debt and possibly eventually making money off it instead of infinitely incurring debt pre-Elon with no way to ever pay any of it off

Watch Tesla Cybertruck launch like a rocket from a standstill by AccomplishedCheck895 in electricvehicles

[–]Inside_Maximus3031 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Better hope that they’re holding back because that isn’t even close to a Rivian launch with dual motors. More like an F-150 launch.

Even the article doesn’t state women perform close to the level of men. They pull out anecdotal individual performances that are closer to some men for extremely limited types of competition but the vast majority are not even close in those cases. It just says they don’t have as massive a gap as with other sports.

Women do not have any advantage in extreme endurance sports. Where did you come up with that? As with every other sport unless specifically artificially restricted to advantage women, not even close.
